Hosta "The Ambassador" review
Named in honor of Ambassador House & Heritage Gardens in Indianapolis, Indiana, this plant was introduced to raise funds for the historical home of an ambassador to Austria and Hungary. Hybridized by Indiana hybridizer Randy Goodwin, this little hosta makes a great edger or bright spot in a small space. Pointed, bright green leaves are trimmed by a lightly rippled margin that starts out bright gold, then fades to white.
